Growth and Opportunity in Global Spine Surgery Device Markets

Aug. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Driven by aging populations and technological advances leading to improved devices and less invasive surgery, and despite the current economic challenges, the aggregate global market for spine surgery devices is expected to see modest growth during the forecast period, 2010-2020, with several established and emerging segments demonstrating double digit annual growth.

Manufacturers of visualization systems, surgical instruments and devices are also aggressively capitalizing on demand for minimally invasive surgeries, with the intended result being to expand caseload to underserved demographics.  Younger patients are seeking earlier treatment of activity-limiting conditions.  Older patients, as a category swelling with baby boomers, are seeking a return to more active lifestyles,

Reimbursement and healthcare reform are expected to be drivers of growth during the forecast period, with clinical trials increasingly generating data in support of strong reimbursement and with reform initiatives trending toward increased patient caseload entering the healthcare system.
